215: Chapter 215 Being handsome is enough

Chuncheng, the Xing Family mansion.

"Father, I know May Plaza is our flagship project, but isn't the capital invested in promotion a bit too much? We still have many properties under construction..."

"Enough! What do you know? Without sufficient promotion, how can we sell off five or ten years of rent in one go?"

Although Hengtian Group was built by Father Xing single-handedly, the vast majority of its recent glory is inseparable from his outstanding daughter.

The phrase "What do you know" could be considered an extremely disdainful and impolite reprimand.

Father Xing was extremely biased towards sons; no matter how excellent Xing Huiqiong was since childhood, she could never gain her father's affirmation.

She had been working silently for so many years and achieved countless brilliant results, but it seemed she still hadn't managed to change her father's opinion of her.

"Father, are you still refusing to tell me how big the funding gap in Hengtian is? Am I really that untrustworthy?"

"Why are you asking about this! Who sent you to inquire about it?"

Father Xing glared at his daughter like an angry lion whose tail had been stepped on.

"Dad, I am your own daughter, how can you say such things to me?"

Father Xing also realized he had overreacted slightly; the pressure recently was simply too great, leaving him somewhat neurasthenic.

"Alright, alright, you go out first, and call your brother in."

Xing Huiqiong took a deep breath and turned to leave silently.

Xing Tianjie was called in by his sister, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his tone was a bit unfriendly: "Dad, did you argue with my sister again?"

"Your sister, your sister, all you know is your sister every single day. Do you still have me, your father, in your eyes?"

"Don't take your anger out on us just because you were upset outside. We are your children, not punching bags."

Xing Tianjie didn't give his father as much face as his sister did.

It is said that those who are favored act without fear. Having been extremely pampered by his father since childhood, Xing Tianjie was not afraid of his father at all.

Furthermore, because Father Xing was busy building his career and their mother died early, his childhood was entirely guided by his sister, so he was closer to his sister than his father, and also held more respect for her.

"If you had half the ability to deal with your sister that you have dealing with your old man, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

"Why would I want to deal with my sister?"

"Do you know that throughout the entire company, except for my old subordinates, everyone else has basically become your sister's people. How are you going to take over the company in the future?"

"My sister is doing a great job; why should I put in that effort? It's better to just enjoy life."

"You! You really are mud that can't be plastered onto a wall!"

Although he was scolding him, Father Xing's doting on his only son was not diminished in the slightest.

The group's capital chain had problems, and he had been running around for a long time without being able to save it.

As for his daughter, he didn't tell her, entirely out of distrust. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water; she would sooner or later belong to someone else's family and could only be considered half a family member.

He didn't tell his son either, but that was out of a desire not to let him bear such a heavy burden at such a young age.

If he could sell his daughter to save his career, he would certainly be willing to do it. But if it were his son, he would rather bear all the debts himself, go bankrupt, and liquidate everything to protect the overseas trust he had set up for his son long ago.

Xing Tianjie, however, didn't buy it. His father did love him, but it was mostly reflected in material giving; in terms of emotional care and dedication, it was far from comparable to his sister.

"I really don't know why you have such a big prejudice against my sister. She has been so outstanding for so many years, can't you see it?"

"Outstanding? If not for the Hengtian I built, and the status of being my daughter, how outstanding could she be? Having been flattered for a few years, does she really think she has surpassed me, her father?"

"I can't be bothered to argue with you. What did you want with me? Speak quickly, I still have a lot of work to do."

Having been retorted by his son, Father Xing wasn't too angry. After all, his son was indeed working hard to learn everything about the work now, and he still felt a glimmer of hope.

If he could save the company and pass it on to his son smoothly, everything would be perfect.

"You are familiar with that guy named Zhao Xiaoshuai, right? Invite him to the house for a casual meal tomorrow."

"He is closer to my sister; why don't you ask my sister to invite him?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Didn't you say you were friends? Can't you even invite him for a meal?"

"Fine, fine, fine. That's it, right? Then I'm going back to work."

Watching his son's retreating figure, Father Xing sighed.

In order to pass the group on to this son smoothly, he had worried himself sick, directing a group of confidants within the company to keep his daughter in check.

Always busy with internal strife, one moment of negligence had caused the disastrous consequence of this capital chain rupture.

That old fox Huo Zhengdong had shown an intention to inject capital, but he kept dragging it out. The conditions for the negotiation were outrageous; it couldn't even be described as exorbitant.

He had asked his daughter to try to get through to that old fox Huo's son, but his disobedient daughter was unwilling.

Now, this second target who had suddenly popped up and was circling his daughter had entered his field of vision.

Xing Huiqiong had reported the matter of Zhao Xiaoshuai guaranteeing 7 billion in working capital for Xiong Xiqu to her father truthfully, so at this moment, Father Xing was also eyeing this big piece of fat meat.

"I've raised my daughter for so many years; asking for a dowry of 1 billion isn't too much, right?"

...

...

Recently, Zhao Xiaoshuai's luck with elders seemed quite good.

Following that big shot Hao Aiguo, today he received another message from Xing Tianjie; his father also wanted to meet him.

It was still scheduled for a luncheon, but before attending the banquet, he had to go pick up Little Sub.

This little contributor's old classmate from abroad was quite reliable; as soon as she heard about the matter Zhao Xiaoshuai entrusted, she agreed immediately.

Very quickly, she contacted the friend who had bought his car, added 2 million, and bought back the car that had just been sold. However, in the end, he still made a net profit of five or six million, and everyone was very happy.

The luxury car was immediately air-freighted to BJ and then transported back by land. She followed the whole process, handling some checkpoints to ensure the car could pass customs smoothly.

Looking at the travel-worn Little Sub, Zhao Xiaoshuai went up and gave her a hard spank on the butt. "Well done, I'll reward you properly later."

Upon hearing about the reward, all of Little Sub's exhaustion vanished.

Watching the supercar he had been longing for being driven out of the shipping container, Zhao Xiaoshuai couldn't wait to get his hands on it and inspect the car.

This kind of supercar, even though the snow was almost gone now, definitely couldn't be driven in a place like Chuncheng. Furthermore, because of its low chassis, driving on many road sections would be very troublesome.

It belongs to the category of big toys that are useless for anything other than showing off.

But, being cool can make up for everything!

Starting the car, that cool engine sound was really quite flashy!
